This data release is in partial fulfillment of an agreement between the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of California, Merced, related to a study funded through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (PROPOSAL #: P1896056-01, TITLE: High Resolution Temporal and Spatial Mapping of Mercury in Surface Waters of the San Francisco Bay Delta), as part of the California Proposition 1 Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014. The overarching goal of this study was to develop models that can estimate surface-water concentrations of four mercury species (particulate and filter-passing fractions of total mercury and methylmercury) using a trio of high-resolution water-quality data collection platforms.
